September 2012 Block Party From Fred Bodin
It was really crowded all night long on Main Street, as usual for a Block Party.
So many people came into my gallery that I lost count, perhaps between 100 to 150 folks. On the lower right is a display of free samples of hand-made Gloucester soaps. We sell them here, and there are a few left. All natural ingredients. The soaps have unique and interesting names, and my favorite is Dirty Clammer.
I got to escape from the gallery for a few minutes, and went to the POP Galley, my wonderful friends and neighbors. [real reason – we ran out of wine, so I had to beg for some, and POP obliged with a bottle of bubbly]. It was a thirsty, fun-loving, and interesting crowd. My bad news is that it’s almost midnight and I’ll be opening early tomorrow for the cruise ship Eurodam, arriving in the morning, and to clean up the party debris. But I do love it! Sadly, the next planned event for Downtown is for Ladies’ Night in early December (two and a half months away), and after December, nothing from January 1st until Fiesta, in late June (that’s almost six months!). Give me a break! We should have something like a Block Party every month of the year. The West End shops will make that happen.

Carl Gustin’s 2012 Gloucester Schooner Festival Photos
"The photos from this year’s Schooner Festival include Liberty Clipper, Fame and Gloucester’s Bald Eagle passing in review during the Parade of Sail; the Spirit of Massachusetts and Summwind shortly after the start of the Mayor’s Race; a three-shot sequence (194-196) with American Eagle, Thomas E. Lannon and Summerwind rounding the first mark; and the Maritime Gloucester-based Ardelle, the newest and one of three Harold Burnham-built schooners participating along with Fame and Thomas E. Lannon.

2012 Gloucester Schooner Race Results From Al Bezanson
Joey…..Terrific coverage here on the Parade of Sail, but for those interested in the race itself the information has been sparse and late coming. In the past the Times has had good reporting on the race but none this year. The Race Committee had a real challenge from a fizzling breeze that backed away from the SSE where it started and half the entries were unable to finish within the four hour time limit. Or they just fired up their engines so as not to be late for the 6:00 PM post-race festivities at Maritime Gloucester. (Good judgment.)
The hospitality extended to visiting schooners this year was extra special. Here is a little story on the American Schooner Association website.

2012 Fish Box Derby This Sunday September 16th!!!
“The Thrill of the Hill”
The 19th annual running of the Fish Box Derby is coming up on Sunday, September 16th at High Noon. We will be racing down Rogers Street in front of Gorton’s and have more than thirty entrants. The kids and their cars will traverse the 500 foot course in about 20 seconds.
Trophies are awarded to all participants with the grandest prizes (bikes, Y memberships, whale watch tickets, and watches) going to the top four finishers in each of the two classes: Freestyle (sleeve bearings) and Modified (ball and roller bearings). Other prizes are awarded for Best Pit Crew and Koolest Kar. Over 100 sponsors from the community bought advertising signs on the hay bales that will line the course. This widespread support will also allow the Fish Box Derby Committee to award two $1,000 scholarships to former racers going on to higher education.
This is one of the great family events of the year. Much more information is on www.fishboxderby.org.

Gloucester Parade of Sail 2012 Video from Kenny MacCarthy
Kenny writes-
http://www.capeanninfo.com We took a boat ride out into the middle of Gloucester’s Parade of Sail. The weather was perfect. The tide was right. And the schooners were under sail in our harbor. More good reasons to love living on Cape Ann.

Community Blogging 2012 Schooner Festival
Well from the numbers I’m seeing around town and on the water I’d say that Al Bezanson and my monthlong push to make people aware of the Schooner Festival had a bit of an impact on those regular folks outside of the regular Schooner circles showing up.
Nice work Al!

The Bounty leaving Gloucester From Christopher Lewis
Joey:
You may like these two photos of HMS Bounty leaving Gloucester on Monday morning. They show how large this schooner is. In the first photo you can compare the Bounty to the "Tuscan House" on Rocky Neck. The second photo compares Bounty with a foreground of small boats and a background of the Boulevard – a truly remarkable sight.
Take care — Christopher
